Whittling is carving wood with a simple knife. No power tools, no workshop, no noise. A pocket knife, a piece of soft wood, and a park bench, that's the whole setup. It's meditative, cheap, and your first finished spoon will stop you mid-thought every time you see it.

Jak zacząć

1
Buy a cheap whittling knife (Morakniv 106 is the classic).
2
Grab basswood blanks, they're soft and forgiving.
3
First project: a wooden spoon. Or a chopstick. Start tiny.
4
Learn 4 cuts: push, pull, paring, stop. That's it.
5
Sharpen. Cut. Accept the nicks. Carry a band-aid.

Whittle only from sticks you find on walks, no store wood.

Notatki ADHD

Slow, rhythmic, tactile. Hands are busy. Done outside with no screens. Sessions end when the piece ends, not a timer.

Ciekawostka
